A woman’s vocation is to love—indeed, this feminine gift is essential to the health and strength of civilization. Yet women cannot love freely unless they can move past the personal wounds that are inevitable in a fallen world. Once women see the grace and freedom inherent in forgiveness, their natural response to injury will give way to the transforming power of God’s grace. In these compelling stories of forgiveness, from the trivial (forgiving a friend who forgets and appointment) to the traumatic (forgiving childhood physical and sexual abuse), Genevieve weaves biblical truths and real-life stories together in a way that reveals the heart of forgiveness: the freedom that comes from letting go and forgiving. “So how do we make the leap from the messy shortcomings of everyday life to the paradise Jesus offers? The same way that he did—through forgiveness. Trust me, trust those who share their stories of forgiveness in this book, and trust God himself, whose unfathomable love for us is magnified in his divine mercy. This is advice you can rely upon. Truly!” (from the Introduction).”
